The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit in

Chapter 796 Night of Uncertainty

Tessa spoke without hesitation.

Finished.

If it meant Maric would forgive her, she was willing to stand as many nights as necessary.

Marie gave a sharp snort and hung up the phone..

The abrupt click left Tessa stunned. She quickly called Stella instead.

When Stella heard that Marie wanted Tessa punished by standing for three nights, she let out a long breath. “That’s it–she’s forgiven you.”

“Huh?”

“You know how she settled things with Dan, don’t you?”

Tessa froze.

“I–I know.”

How could she not? That storm had been violent and merciless, leaving Dan torn to pieces and hospitalized for weeks.

“So if she’s only making you stand as punishment, it means she’s forgiven you. If she really hadn’t, with her temper, she’d have shredded you alive.”

Hearing that, Tessa perked up. “Then I’ll stand properly. I’ll stand for her as many nights as she

wants.”

Stella laughed softly.

Punished, yet still volunteering more–what a sight.

The two chatted a little longer before hanging up.

Victor came out of the bathroom, towel in hand, drops of water sliding down his hair. He caught sight of Tessa’s beaming face.

It was the happiest she had looked in days.

“What’s got you so pleased?” he asked, rubbing his hair dry.

Tessa’s eyes darted toward his hard, sculpted torso, and her cheeks flushed.

“It’s Marie… she forgave me.”

“Forgave you?” Victor raised a brow.

That surprised him. In his mind, Marie had always been hot–tempered and unforgiving. Whoever crossed her never walked away unscathed.

Just look at Dan–hadn’t she nearly beaten him to death not long ago?

“Stella told me to call, admit my mistake, act a little spoiled. She said Marie’s not so bad. And… it worked,” Tessa murmured.

Victor’s gaze sharpened with interest. “And how exactly did you act spoiled?”

“What?”

She pouted, her lips curving. “I’m not telling you.”

She ducked under the blanket, hiding her blushing face.

The man’s striking looks and perfect body were bad enough. Compared to him, she felt far too small.

But it was precisely her soft, flustered retreat that touched Victor’s most sensitive nerves.

He tossed the towel aside, strode over on long legs, and scooped her straight into his arms, tumbling with her under the covers.

Tessa gasped, words forming–only for his lips to crush against hers, swallowing everything she

meant to say.

He kissed her deeply, his voice rough at her ear. “Little thing, act spoiled for me too, hmm?”

Her breath hitched.

Not this-

She tried to push him away, but her frail limbs were no match for him. He pinned her down with ease.

“Beg me a little,” he coaxed darkly.

Her world spun. She felt like a bird with clipped wings, carried wherever he wanted.

In the end, she begged for mercy–far more desperately than she ever had with Marie.

And Victor, unlike Marie, had no intention of letting her off.

Meanwhile, Marie felt her tension lift completely, though her stomach still churned.

The spicy soup from earlier hadn’t made her throw up.

But when she nibbled some fruit at home afterward, she vomited again.

Derrick frowned. “Tomorrow you’re going to the hospital. No more waiting.”

After that fake doctor incident, he dared not summon physicians into Noctarth anymore.

This place had its own kind of madness. Patients pretending to be doctors…

Marie slumped weakly after vomiting. “I think so too. What if I’ve got stomach cancer?”
